Friday Favorites: Hello February

Hello everyone! Happy Friday and Happy February! I've been seeing a few Instagram posts about how long January felt and it is so true! January feels like it was much longer than 31 days! And it is just plain cold! I am really looking forward to some warmer weather - spring break will bring a nice little taste of that! Here are some favorites from this week...

1. This week, I shared the recipe for some fabulous brown butter pecan cookies. If you missed this recipe, you are going to want to head write over! These cookies are so so good! You can find the recipe HERE. I don't know how to describe how delicious these cookies are - they are just to good! The brown butter and brown sugar combo paired with the pecans is so good! Also, huge plus - I was able to make these cookies gluten free! Major bonus, right!?

2. And since we're talking about pecans, I have a question for you - how do you pronounce pecan? I saw this image this week and it made me laugh! I've always said 'pee-can' but someone told me years ago, that a 'pee-can' is a can that you pee in! What!? I just haven't been able to correct myself to say 'puh-kahn!' I'm curious to hear how you say pecan! Let me know in the comments below!

3. The Olympics are less than a week away - Wahoo! I adore the Olympics! I can't to watch it all but some of my favorites are figure skating, skiing and hockey (is that so Canadian of me!?)! I love watching Canadian athletes do their thing! I am especially excited to watch Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skate in the Olympics one last time!

 4. On Wednesday, I posted a soundtrack to my life. I loved this post! It was so fun to write, I hope it is just as fun to read! I love talking about music & I really loved going through some of my favorite music over my lifetime. If you are interested in reading a rewind through my life in music, you can find it HERE. I know this is a blog post that I will love looking back on in years to come!

5. Today, my friend Jess are doing some baking together - ah! I'm so so excited! We are planning a little bit of festive Valentine's baking! We are both choosing a recipe to bake together and we will be sure to share it on both of our blogs! I'm so glad Jess started blogging and I know we have some fun collaborations in our future! In other news, I went looking for a picture of Jess and I and all I could find is a picture of us from Halloween when we were 14! No way am I posting that online! I will make sure we grab a picture together today!
